Ouch. Expected and all but what can Sony do to improve the lack of PS3 sales. Don't think even a price cut would do a huge amount over the long term IMO.

300% increase in NA YOY, 200% increase in EU YOY

PS3 is the only console in history to have such increased sales even months after a price cut.

 

 

A $200 price reduction (potentially the biggest price reduction ever), the Blu-Ray format winning (and the PS3 being the least expensive and only fully compatible Blu-Ray player), and the release of two of the biggest games of the generation should be credited for that ... it wasn't just a price reduction.

I still laugh when people try to pull this one off.

 

You can argue semantics all you want but the main SKU of the PS3 went from being a $600 60GB PS3 with full backwards compatibility to being a $400 40GB PS3 with no backwards compatibility ... A $200 price difference between the products Sony was pushing.
